Criades globals: noves formes de precarització de les joves universitàries en situació d'au pair

2014

Au pair mobility, originally conceived as a form of cultural exchange, conceals forms of paid work and without a clear legal basis, developed mainly by young women with higher education. This program has become a way for middle-class families that can outsource housework, getting cheap and very flexible care work. First, we describe how in a context of increasing of the vital precariousness, the dominant discourses on human capital and cosmopolitanism prescribe as desirable the mobility in order to increase the employability. Second, by analyzing in-depth interviews we approach to the experiences and representations of women that were employed as au pairs. The results highlight the use of t…

An unbounded family of log Calabi–Yau pairs

2016

We give an explicit example of log Calabi-Yau pairs that are log canonical and have a linearly decreasing Euler characteristic. This is constructed in terms of a degree two covering of a sequence of blow ups of three dimensional projective bundles over the Segre-Hirzebruch surfaces ${\mathbb F}_n$ for every positive integer $n$ big enough.

Au pair programma: dalībnieku iesaistes iemesli un ieguvumi

2016

Bakalaura darbā “Au pair programma: dalībnieku iesaistes iemesli un ieguvumi” analizēti jauniešu iesaistes iemesli un ieguvumi no au pair programmas, izmantojot racionālās izvēles un sociālās apmaiņas teoriju. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot iemeslus un ieguvumus, kādēļ dalībnieki iesaistās au pair programmā. Lai sasniegtu darba mērķi, izmantota kvalitatīvās pētniecības pieeja. Veiktas divpadsmit daļēji strukturētas intervijas. Analīzes daļā galvenās kategorijas tika atvedinātas no iepriekš aprakstītas teorijas. Secināts, ka ne visi dalībnieki rīkojas racionāli, kā to paredz teorijā aprakstītais, un kultūras dažādība spēlē lielu lomu starp apmaiņas dalībniekiem apmaiņas laikā. Tomēr ar iesais…

Una más de la familia. Au pairs atrapadas entre el capital humano y la economía moral

2018

In contemporary societies we are witnessing an expansion of the messages of human capital. These messages have as their central dimension idea of the self-entrepreneur, which implies a deepening in the logic of activation, while blurring the wage relations. In this scenario, young people with university degrees are becoming a favourite target in the offensive of human capital. The penetration of these human capital messages can be seen in the discourses of young university students who have been forced to leave the country during the crisis. In the present text we approach the discourses of young women who came out as au pairs. The characteristics of this figure place it in a space halfway …
